Penthouse Serenade (When We're Alone), a 1931 song by Will Jason and Val Burton, stayed in Erroll Garner's repertoire across his whole career; he returned to it again and again from his earliest records onward.
This late-fifties trio reading is one of his richest: block chords in both hands, sudden dynamic drops, and a swinging middle stretch whose density earns the file its Advanced badge.

Erroll Garner
Erroll Garner, the self-taught composer of Misty, swung like a full orchestra: left hand strumming steady fours like a rhythm guitar, right hand floating just behind the beat. He never learned to read music and never needed to.
